CPS in Michigan is corrupt. They took my kids because my fiance was a licensed medical marijuana caregiver, and was raided because he was growing it in a separate locked facility,they told us that our kids were in imenent danger.... I dont see what danger.... he was licensed the kids were not around it they didnt even know what happened. it was a nightmare and the police didnt even care that he was licensed by the state to grow it for his patient (my mother who is severly ill and the marijuana helps her with her pain) not only did they skip out on the home visit we had scheduled, they took my kids 5 months after the incident with my fiance. they went to my kids school on a friday and stole my children and placed them in a foster home. Then the CPS worker failed to show up at the preliminary hearing, you would think they would dismiss it on that basis but instead they found another CPS worker unfamiliar with our case to sit in on her behalf, not only did she miss that hearing but she also never showed to the pre trial hearing, but they didnt dismiss it then they just found ANOTHER worker to sit in on her behalf after we had to send our lawyers out looking for the GAL, they had to postpone that pre trial and we had to wait yet another month thank god my sis in law agreed to take the kids for the meantime.then the foster worker skipped out in her home visit with us. I dont understand how this works if it were my husband and I not showing up they would rule in the workers favor but we have to wait another pain fulfilled month.to see what they say about the custody of my kids.When I received a copy of the casefile CPS had on us, it was FILLED with lies, from they times they supposedly contacted me, which by the way i pulled my phone records and gave to my lawyer, And it showed that I contacted them 6 times and they only called 3 times. they even said that I was laughing when they told me they took my children...When I was crying when I was speaking with the estranged CPS worker.it was filled with so many lies it angers me just writing about it. They need to be held accountable for the lies that they tell just as we would be held accountable

Well first of all threaten to call the police. That is a threat. What are they going to tell the police. You are protecting your rights. I know of 2 people that bring there recorders into the family court while they have court. They sit them on the desk and record there hearings. This is in Kent county. Grand Rapids. And Kent is very bad at taking children. The law should supercede policy. I will get with some of my people in my group. Might not be till wednesday but will give you a shout back on this. I know they have been using recorders. Also there is a woman that has used papers for cps and these agencies to sign when they talk with her. They make you sign papers she makes them. She by the way got her children back.

thanks dennis, but every time i pull out my recorder they say i cant use it and threaten to call the police....it was my impression that as long as i told them before i recorded it was my right to be able to do so.......but they insist its against their policy at the counseling place where my visits are. since its my right, i was also under the impression that their policies mean dick.....tell me if this true because according to the law ive dug up in michigan it is.....

Comment on john foster parent and caseworker being good friends. They all seem to be friends they work togather. We have reports and I think it may have happened in my case of people from the agency involved . Some of these people involved adopting these children. I guess they get to pick the best in the litter. Bias not for them. And it has been challenged in Family Court.

Well John I am not surprised at all. Just another similiar story that I have been hearing from people around the state of Michigan. Rights I don't think parents have any rights in the state of Michigan. We see these trampled all the time. And noone as of yet has been able to leagally do anything about them. Maybe if we can get the Parental Rights Ammendment passed that I think will present some legal challenges. Get yourself a tape recorder and tape every visit and conversation that you have with these people. You also can use a tape recorder in court to record what is being said. We have found that there are times the transcripts have be alter in court. Get copies of any parenting class or counseling that you are being forced to take or are taking on your own. So you can make sure none of those are being alterd when presented to court. And what ever you do don't sign your rights away. Let them have there trial. Good luck.

Hi, my name is John J Keller Jr. and what I am about to tell all of you may surprise some, make some sick, and make most who already know about the injustices of this organization smile and say “well there goes another one”. On March 4, 2009 Elizabeth Sue Miller the mother of my first born child, told her counselor at Catholic Charities that I had punched a wall, this all stems from a domestic violence I did not commit but got arrested and convicted for. The counselor, whose name is Melany Wells, then reported this incident to Child Protective Services. This same Catholic counseling service six to eight months prior, had turned me down for anger and personal counseling for lack of funds and insurance. I came home the following Thursday to see a card from an Amy Fullerton of Child Protective Services. She had left a card in my front door asking me to contact her and set up a home visit. On Monday, March 9, 2009 Mrs. Fullerton came to my home at 11:30 in the morning for a home study/inspection and found nothing wrong. This is where it starts to get rocky and shady, Mrs. Fullerton then showed up when I was out of the house and Elizabeth let her inside. My daughter Bethany Delores Keller was crying do to tiredness and maybe wanting a bottle, and Mrs. Fullerton then made accusations that Elizabeth could not properly take care of her basic needs. Mrs. Fullerton then referred us to Family’s first, a family counseling service whose main objective is to keep the child in the home. Immediately after our first session with Sandra Mroz, whom I had told would be back that evening, Elizabeth deliberately interfered with me while I was practicing the techniques they told us to do when we were fighting. I then requested that Elizabeth leave my home because she could not keep her hands off of me or my stuff, and would not follow the advice of families first. Elizabeth then went to the Catherine Cobb Domestic Violence Shelter. While at the shelter Elizabeth let me see my daughter a couple of times and I met her outside to pick her up. Unbeknownst to me I was supposedly putting everyone there at risk. Elizabeth then kept my daughter from me, and threatened that I would never see her again. Subsequently my daughter had been taken at a TDM on the 26th of March 2009, and has been in state custody since. I guess not getting along with the mother of my child, even though I had her removed from my home, was putting my child at risk for great harm. They used my 10 plus year old petty criminal past against me stating I had a substance abuse problem, and a 100 mile pick up radius bench warrant, stating my child was at risk of being left alone if I got pulled over by the police and taken into custody. I live 300 plus miles away from that town, and I did not have a license or a car so my daughter would not have been at risk. My rights have since been repeatedly trampled by not only the state of Michigan, but my supposedly exceptional court appointed attorney. I'll be scanning in my recent court papers for all to see......just wondering if any one has some advice to help with my fight. Thanks all and I will keep you updated!

Oct 27th 2008 we had a foster care appeal board. This was 2 days before they took our grandaughters. At this appeal it was said that they already had a family to place them in. This family was licensed and they wanted to adopt the girls. We found out today from the adoption specialist that these girls were moved from that home in dec. of 2008. They are back in Grand Rapids somewhere. And we think we might know where. This is a multi adoption as these people want to adopt the children. The MCI director of the state will decide who gets them. Of course it will really be the social workers from Bethany. As this appears to be a rubber stamping ordeal. I wsih we could sue but these people don't seem to have any liabilty.
